Tottenham Hotspur Ladies FC teams (except
the First Team) now
play at Frederick Knight Sports
Ground, Willoughby
Lane, Tottenham.
If approaching from the East on the
North-South route (Mollison Avenue/Watermead Way),
just past Tesco and Ikea on the right if you are coming from the North or the next
turning on the left after Sedge Lane coming from the South (Tottenham
Hale), turn off that road at the traffic lights at Leeside Road
(signposted as Brantwood Road Industrial area). Go over the railway line on the bridge and you come to a
mini roundabout, where you turn left into Willoughby Lane. The ground is
on the left 100 yards from the roundabout. Entrance is through two
big gates.
If approaching from Tottenham, turn off the
High Road, at the traffic lights outside Sainsbury's down Brantwood Road and carry on down to
the mini roundabout, where you turn right into Willoughby Lane. The
ground is on the left 200 yards from the roundabout.
Car parking is available inside the grounds
around the club house, but is shared with the Power League 5-a-side
facility there, so sometimes can get crowded.
If Tottenham Hotspur have a home game, then free parking is restricted.
A charge of £5.00 may be levied if you wish to park within Fred Knights
Sports Ground.
Off street parking is available nearby, although this is at a premium
when THFC are at home.
PLEASE NOTE : From
January 2008, there will be a match-day Controlled Parking Zone
introduced around the area when Spurs have a home game. This will
mean that any vehicle parked within the zone will be given a ticket or
removed to a council compound, where a release fee will be levied.
PLEASE check the plates on lamp-posts near where you park to ensure that
your vehicle is parked legally. PLEASE NOTE : DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THE
SPORTS GROUND
